If you define credible as being information coming from or being adjacent too the CDC/WHO/NIH opinion as many platforms are using as the defacto standard despite an extremely questionable history (understatement) of truthfulness (They praised Chinas openness to sharing information at the start of the virus...) then of course not. Did you actually watch the video?

"They" was just WHO. And you can't discuss this without mentioning the manipulation of coronavirus data here in the states.

I don’t know which video you’re referring to, there are endless amount of conspiracy theory videos with their own “facts” but I only have limited time. I also understand my limitations and I think there are people much smarter than me and more experienced in this domain and if they don’t think it’s a “plandemic” then there’s no amount of effort from my part that would prove otherwise. As a rational person with a fair understanding of how business, markets and law work, I find it hard to believe that any party would intentionally create, or release the coronavirus for financial or political gain when there are other, easier and less damaging ways to achieve the same goal. The pandemic has ripple effects on pretty much every domain in the market and any short-term gain (let’s say for pharma or PPE) companies would be wiped out by the negative consequences (imagine you were a company producing PPE among other things, your PPE profits would explode but then your “other things” profits would collapse for several years while the expenses of the production line for those other things would still pile up). When it comes to the idea that it was an act of war from China, they too were affected very badly to a point where I don’t believe it was a worthwhile tradeoff, thus discounting this possibility. There have indeed been mistakes committed during the response to the pandemic including by the WHO (especially around their advice with regards to face masks), however I believe these were due to incompetence rather than any malicious intent.
